.
industrial smoke...

How can I say thank you
For being who you are...

Reflection glares back
Judging what is seen...

Lightless cloud vacillates
over a crystal heart...

Meeting long ago, another century
Eyes locked beginning our life's chapter...

.
squirrels playing tag...

Iridescent wings
float fragile body briskly...

Hearing words piercing my heart
Expressing abyssal pain...

Hear my voice
Envision my eyes...

Field of rainbow colored wildflowers
Radiant against a cotton ball sky...

So tender and strong a womans heart
Something she gives only to the deserving...

Thinking of you here under the trees
Your spirit and warmth embrace me...
